Hukuk bunun her aşamasında var olmuş ve fonksiyonlarını icra etmiştir. Ancak, devlete geçme aşamasında, kabilelerinkendi hukuk anlayışlarını terk etmek istememesi ciddi sıkıntıları beraberinde getirmiştir. Özellikle ceza hukuku alanında zaman zaman sıkıntılar yaşanmıştır. Ülkemizde, özellikle töre/namus cinayetlerinde, aşiretin verdiği kararlar sonucu kadınların öldürüldüğüne şahitlik edilmektedir. Kan davaları kabile ve aşiret anlayışının diğer bir tezahürüdür. Biz bu çalışmamızda, yargı ve medyaya yansıyan aşiret kararları sonucu namus cinayetlerini Türk ve İslam ceza hukuku perspektifinden ele alacağız. Özel hukuk alanında aşiret ve cemaat hukuk anlayışının olumlu katkıları ise konumuz sınırlarını aştığından inceleme dışı bırakılacaktır. Umarız bu çalışma aşiretlerin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlar.

Research paper thumbnail of Tax Law in Crimea in the Light of Two Yarlıks

Russian History-histoire Russe, 2011

Two other documents about a female slave dated June 1677 involving the dignitaries of Crimea are also examined. Th e main aim of this work is to fi nd out whether or not the provisions of the statutes (kanun) of the mainland, Istanbul, were also applied in other autonomous provinces. Th is article tries to shed light on tax regulations in diff erent parts of the Ottoman Empire and to contribute to our understanding of yarlıks. Th e Crimean khanate which was established as an independent state around 1420 became a vassal state of the Ottoman empire in 1475 when Mengli Giray recognized Sultan Mehmet II as his suzerain. A Crimea-Muscovy alliance supported by the Ottomans led to the emergence of the Muscovite state as the dominant power in the region. Th e Russians and the Ottomans had peaceful relations until the middle of the 17 th century. From that time onwards, confl icts started to appear and led Russia to invade and annex the Crimea. Although khans were appointed and dismissed by the Ottoman sultans, they were able to maintain independent judicial and fi nancial institutions. Th e judges were appointed and dismissed by the military judge of the Crimea. Th e shari'a courts and the diwan (council) were the two main bodies of the judicial system. Th e trials were conducted by a single qadi/judge in the shari'a courts. Although litigants or defendants had the right to apply to the diwan to review his/ her case, the system of appeal in the modern sense was not recognized. Islamic law, custom and the statutory laws constituted the law of the Crimea. In cases of contradiction between custom and governmental orders, custom would prevail. Certain fi scal laws that applied in the mainland of the Ottoman empire were not in practice in the Crimea.

Furthermore, he had shuhud al-hal who witnessed the proceedings of the court and ensured its fairness and justice. The presence of shuhud al-hal in each case indicates that no procedure of the court took place without their attendance. In other words, the qadi did not see the cases without the presence of several witnesses. Our examination of different registers suggests that there were several men who regularly attended the court as shuhud al-hal. In some cases,
